getURL

public java.lang.String getURL()

Portlets can have external configuration information other than just
parameters. A URL can define an external configuration file or HTML file
that this Portlet can parse out.
The main reason for using setURL/getURL is because the remote URL is cached
within Jetspeed so future requests won't have any latency.

isCachedOnURL

Determines whether to use the URL as part of the unique id to the portlet cache.
This can be used to control the lifetime of the portlet.
The URL is used in combination with the parameter names and values for this portlet
to uniquely identify to portlet. Parameters may also be optionally included in the cache key.
This value can be set in the portlet registry.
